commuting

Ok, finally pulled my finger out, got a parking space at work and am now riding the bike to London each day.
taking it easy, and even managing the filtering to the Blackwall Tunnel each day.
A2 this morning, scaffolding lorry lost a wheel (traffic queues at Cobham), and a man down on the Rochester Way, bike under the front of a car ( not good)

taking it steady...

France, trip report

Ok following a successful week of chasing around the French countryside, I'm almost there with dumping the GPS tracks and getting some useful info out of the aged Streetpilot III.
I'll publish the day to day details here and have some picture links back to flickr.

Gps from Google maps

Lovely!

our first major snow for many years, normally winter just passes by.

we've had plenty last night and today, while walking the dog I spotted this pheasant, taking shelter in the veg.
